Hello Josh,

Because of the nature of orthography, it is impossible for many languages not to use eight-dot Braille. Many languages have several unique characters (accents, umlauts, etc.) and it is impossible to represent all of them using just a six-dot matrix.

Kindest regards from Austria,

Mike

Hi

I installed the multilingual braille tables for mac and then tested it with 
some greek text on the web that I made google translate produce. My question is 
why does all the greek text use eight dot braille? same for hebrew, arabic and 
other languages? I wish there were a way to tell voiceover not to use eight dot 
braille at all sometimes like a checkbox or something.
